  13. I just retook the Squid Test and by golly if I didn't gain a bit.  Then I       
  14. thought with horror I might actually lose some hard earned points.  I           
  15. just ordered my Aerostich suit and you only get 0.5 points for that,            
  16. while full leathers is worth 2 points.                                          
  17.                                                                                 
  18. OK troops, here's the question.  Once you have Squid Points, can you            
  19. lose them?  What if you had painted your new Ducati a beautiful --neon          
  20. pink-- and after a bit repainted it a dull, bland Italian racing red.           
  21. Would you lose the points you earned with the original paint job.  After        
  22. your 1992 Bikes-Babes-Bikinis calendar you get a 1993 Vintage bike              
  23. calendar, do you lose points again.                                             
  24.                                                                                 
  25. This could be awful.  An inquiring mind needs to know.                          
  26.                                                                                 
  27. (For the record, I sent in a copy of the DoD Squid Test with my Rider           
  28. Magazine questionnaire.  This could be interesting.)                            
  29.                                                                                 
  30. Ride Free,
